Next to Always: Shattered Innocence Trilogy Book Two (33 page)

*****

Darkness was upon him when Rade finally woke. His body ached all over. He could smell the hint of his own blood as he gasped when he took in a breath of air. There was a sharp pain in his ribs as the air entered his lungs. His only salvation was that Richard would call again and he could give him another clue as to where he was. Rade tried pulling on his restraints, but it was no use. They were too tight. Every move he made caused more pain to his ribs. He had a pretty good idea that they were broken. He hadn’t felt this bad since he got into a fight when he was a teenager. That fight landed him a few days in jail. His father left him stewing in a 6x8 jail cell for two nights. Thought he would teach him a lesson. The only thing it did was cause him to hate his father more.

Rade heard loud voices coming from outside his door as he shifted his body to a more comfortable position. Being tied with his arms spread to the max was beginning to take a toll on his shoulders. The voices were coming closer as he heard the turning of the door knob. Alex appeared with a syringe in his hand. Alex’s little altercation with Rade pissed him off so badly that he forgot about his shot. Moments later, Chloe appeared wearing a tight black sheath dress and very high red Louis Vuitton stilettos. Rade took in Chloe’s expression as she looked at him.

“Oh my, aren’t you a sight. No worries. I’ll take good care of you,” Chloe walked to the bed and kissed Rade on the cheek. “Let me get something to clean you up.”

Chloe came back within minutes with a small bowl of soapy water and a soft washcloth. She began gently cleaning the blood along Rade’s jaw line and across his cheek. Once his face was clear of all the blood, she began washing the blood from his chest. As she rinsed the washcloth and started on his abdomen, she said, “I’m not sure what you said to Alex to piss him off, but you won’t have to worry about him coming after you again. I told him he had to leave until he could play nice.”

"Thank you, beautiful. I don’t like him very much.” Rade confessed.

“I know what will make you feel better,” Chloe whispered as she placed the soiled washcloth in the bloodied water.

Removing her dress, she could see Rade’s eyes on her. She could also see that he was becoming aroused as his impressive cock began to harden. Alex had already taken off, so she knew she had the place to herself. It was “anything goes” as far as she was concerned. Picking up her purse, she pulled out her iPod and selected a sultry song. Chloe turned her back to Rade as she moved her hands behind her back to unclasp her bra. She swayed her hips slowly as she lowered the straps down her shoulders. Turning to face him, her hands were cupped over her breasts as she continued her seductive dance. Even though Rade would have normally loathed this woman, he couldn’t take his eyes off her. It was the drug that kept him captivated. Chloe dropped her bra on the floor and continued her dance by slipping her fingers under the silky lace of her thong. Moving her hips to the beat of the music, she began shimmying her black lace over her thighs, letting them slide down her silky calves. The only article of clothing she didn’t remove was her red stiletto heels. Turning so that her back was facing Rade, she bent over, grabbing her ankles as she moved her hips back and forth, allowing Rade to get a full view of her wet pussy.

When Chloe was satisfied that he was ready, she prowled between his legs like he was her next meal. Licking her lips, she took hold of his rigid shaft and placed her mouth over the mushroom head. With her hand, she gently squeezed his sac. Her mouth began moving further down his shaft, licking and sucking, tasting every inch of him. Removing her mouth, she slipped her middle finger inside, covering it with her saliva. She didn’t take him into her mouth again, but she continued kissing and licking his cock all the way down to his sac. She took hold of his sac while circling his tight hole with her finger. She could feel his resistance as he began bucking his hips. With his restrained hands and feet, he had nowhere he could go to get out from under her clutches. Chloe slowly entered his anus to the first knuckle. She knew he was getting close as she saw the first drop of pre-cum began sliding down his shaft.

With the other hand she began pumping him while returning her anxious mouth to his cock. Taking him deeper into her mouth, she began humming as the tip of his cock hit the back of her throat. Even though Rade didn’t say a word, she knew he was enjoying the pleasure she was giving him. His hips were moving to the up and down movement as her mouth took more and more of him. Chloe increased her pace, all the while her slim finger pushed deeper in and out of his tight entrance, keeping in sync with her assault on his cock. Chloe felt the first sputter of his cum as it hit the back of her throat. She took more of him in her mouth until she sucked and licked him dry. When she was satisfied that he was spent, she pulled her mouth from cock and climbed on top of him. Angling him just right, she guided his shaft inside her and began riding him. His cock was still hard and the friction of her tight pussy caused him to get even harder. No matter what he did to try and think about something else, he couldn’t push back the climax he was so close to hitting again with this woman. A few more strokes of her wet pussy and he exploded with such force that his scream of release could be heard for miles. “You will learn to love me, Rade, as much as I love you.” Chloe knew he still desired her. He couldn’t deny it, no matter what he felt for Dylan. Soon Dylan would be history and his only thoughts would be of her

Chloe kissed Rade gently on the lips before she climbed off of him. When she left the room, he began pulling at his restraints. “Fuck, fuck, fuck,” he yelled. “Don’t leave me, beautiful. I need more.” The drug left him begging for more. Not even the pain in his ribs could stop his desire for this woman.

Chloe returned to the bed, fully naked, carrying a bowl with chocolate covered strawberries and a container of whipped cream. “I thought we would have a little snack before we started round two,” she said as she crawled into bed next to Rade.

Rade smiled up at Chloe with lust in his eyes. Chloe dipped strawberry after strawberry in the white cream and feed it to him. Sometimes she would purposely miss his mouth so she could lick the whipped cream from the side of his lips. Once they were finished consuming the bowl of strawberries, Chloe placed the empty bowl and the whipped cream on the nightstand. She was ready for round two.

Pulling a scarf from her purse, she placed it over Rade’s eyes and secured it tightly behind his head. Straddling his body, she whispered in is ear, “I’m going to trust you, Rade. I’m going to free your arms. I need to feel your mouth on me and your hands on my body. If you hurt me in any way, you will be punished. Do you understand?”

Rade nodded his head. No way could he hurt her. Shifting her body, Chloe placed her legs on either side of Rade’s head, making sure her pussy was in line with his mouth. She lowered herself just enough so that Rade could feel her folds touch his lips. His tongue darted out as be began to lick and taste her. While Rade pleasured her, Chloe lowered her body slightly so that she could wrap her mouth around his hard cock. She wouldn’t have normally enjoyed being in this position, but with Rade being the one licking and sucking her pussy, it was soon to be one of her favorites.

They continued their assault on each other. Just when she felt Rade close to orgasm, she moved down his body, straddling him so that her back was facing him. In this position she could feel his cock hit her g-spot just right. Placing her hands behind her on his chest, she began pumping up and down on him harder and faster. She could feel the tip of his cock hitting her cervix every time she went down on him, causing her to come closer and closer to her own release. “Oh God, Rade, I’m going to come. Fuck,” she moaned as her orgasm gave way. Leaning back so that her back was resting on his chest, she felt Rade’s hands on her breasts. He began gently caressing and tweaking her nipples. She wanted this man more than anything. Slowing her movement, she carefully turned her body so she was now facing him. She took him in as she increased her movements. She knew he was trying hard to control his own release, but she knew he couldn’t. He only had so much control. With her fingers she took hold of his taut nipples and began rolling them between her fingers. Her lips met his and she forced her tongue into his mouth. Rade took hold of her tongue and tried to bite down. “You’re a bad boy, Rade. Remember what I said,” Chloe said.

Chloe tweaked his nipples harder, showing him that she was in control. Removing one hand, she reached behind her and grabbed his sac and squeezed it tightly. She knew he was close as she felt his sac begin to tense. Riding him harder and faster, his loud groan alerted her to his release as she felt his seed spill into her.

Fully spent, Chloe removed his blindfold and once again restrained his hands before she headed to the bathroom to clean herself. When she got back to the bedroom, Rade was staring at her with confusion. “Why are you doing this, Chloe?” Rade asked.

“Because you belong to me now, Rade. I’m going to show you how much you truly love me until you can admit it to yourself,” Chloe chanted.

“I don’t deserve you,” Rade declared.

Chloe wished she keep him on the drug forever. She knew the day would come when she needed to know his true feelings. He was going to be hers no matter what. Eventually he would forget about Dylan. Chloe would make sure of it. There was no way that she would or could ever let him go.

Nuzzling beside him, Chloe draped her leg across his stomach. She wished that he could engulf her into his arms, but she couldn’t risk the drug wearing off and him escaping. So she convinced herself that as long as she was near him and could feel his body next to hers it would be enough, at least for now. Kissing his chest, she looked up at Rade. His eyes were elsewhere, staring at the ceiling thinking about who knows what. Pulling his face towards her until their eyes met, Chloe ran her hand along his cheek. “I know what you desire, Rade. I know you will come to understand why I am doing this. You will love me one day, even though you can’t admit it now. We will be together.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

It had been six days since Dylan had heard from Rade. Richard was doing everything he could to find him. Alex took a short term leave of absence from BlackStone and no one knew where he was. Richard had Peter’s men watching Chloe’s and Alex’s apartment, but there was no sign of either of them. It was like they fell off the face of the earth. The items that Dylan found in Alex’s desk were no help either. It was getting harder and harder for Dylan to concentrate on work. She spent most of the time working late, not getting anything done. It became her only escape from Rade’s penthouse, where everything reminded her of him.

Richard stopped by the penthouse to find that Dylan still hadn’t left for work. It was nearly one o’clock in the afternoon and she was dressed in one of Rade’s white dress shirts and a pair of shorts. When Dylan answered the door, Richard could tell that she hadn’t been taking care of herself. Her eyes had dark circles around them and her small frame looked even smaller.

Without a word to her, Richard headed into the kitchen and opened the fridge. He began pulling various items out and setting them on the counter. “What are you doing, Richard?” Dylan asked.

“This is ridiculous, Dylan. I’m not going to let you wither away to nothing. I am going to fix you something to eat and you’re going to take a shower and pull yourself together,” Richard scolded.

“I don’t want to take a shower and I’m not hungry,” Dylan croaked.

Without hesitation, Richard slung Dylan over his shoulder and took her to her room, where he entered her bathroom. Still holding her tightly as she tried to get free, he reached into the shower and turned the shower on to its coldest setting. He carefully set her inside the shower and held the shower door closed as she screamed, “What the fuck, Richard? This water is frickin cold.”

“Good. Maybe it will knock some sense into that pretty little head of yours and let you realize that you aren’t doing yourself any good moping around and not eating. Rade needs you to be strong more than ever,” Richard declared. “You’re going to finish your shower, get dressed in more appropriate clothing, and then eat a good healthy meal. Do you understand?”

“Yes,” Dylan cried. She felt like a child the way Richard was treating her. She knew he was right. She wasn’t doing Rade any good by giving up and letting herself go to waste. She needed to be strong for both of them.
Richard will find him. He will come back and he will be okay.

When Dylan appeared in the kitchen, she looked more like herself except the dark circles that were still evident under her eyes. Richard told her to sit and handed her a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Nothing like vitamin C to get you going.

Picking at her plate of food, Richard finally told her, “Eat, Dylan.”

She was so startled by his voice that every emotion she was trying to keep hidden from him came out. Her tears began falling and she began mumbling in incoherent sentences. Richard stepped over to her side and tried calming her down. When she finally stopped crying, she began telling Richard what she was unable to get out earlier.

“I’m afraid for him, Richard,” she whimpered. “What if something really bad has happened to him? You have to find him.” Dylan began crying again as Richard pulled her closer to his side.

“We will find him, Dylan, and he will be okay. I think it’s time to try calling him again. Maybe he’ll be able to talk,” Richard said.
